Both the 16GB and 32GB versions of the Nexus 7 are available for purchase from the Google Play Store, with orders expected to ship by July 30. Google has decided to include free ground shipping "for a limited time," which features a delivery window of 3-5 business days. Buyers that want their unit a tad faster can pony up $13.99 for 2-day shipping.

The new Nexus 7 is the follow-up to last year's tablet from ASUS and Google. It sports a 7-inch 1920x1200 display, 1.5GHz quad-core processor, 2GB RAM, NFC, and 5-megapixel rear and 1.2-megapixel cameras. The version that's currently on sale is the Wi-Fi-only model, but Google is planning to offer a version with 4G LTE support on AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon. Unfortunately for anyone that wants to be connected on the go, there's no word yet on when the $349 LTE model will be available save for a vague "coming weeks" timeframe. If you're feeling impatient or are A-OK with sticking to Wi-Fi, you can hit up the links below and treat yo' self to a shiny new Nexus 7 right now.
